Logan County Inmate Search Tools

While the Logan County Sheriff's Office is your main source for local jail roster data, the state also runs search tools. The ODRC Offender Search covers anyone in Ohio state prison. It does not include people held at the Logan County jail on local charges. This trips people up sometimes. The county jail and state prison are separate systems.

The ODRC database tracks inmates serving state prison sentences under ORC §5120.66. If someone from Logan County gets convicted and sent to a state facility, their records move from the sheriff's system to the ODRC system. You can search by name or inmate number on the state site.

The Ohio.gov offender search portal links to the same ODRC tool but through the state's main website. For federal inmates at any Bureau of Prisons facility, use the BOP inmate locator.
